Verse 1

Thanks to everyone who believed in me, from the first day

Since before I came out with a company

Since before they knew what you already knew

That I'm the best at this and the one who I would become

An icon for old and young

Thanks to all my Dominicans and my people in Puerto Rico

Every thing that I achieve, to you I dedicate

Even if sometimes you don't understand me and there are things that I don't explain

Being different feels great

But it feels better to always be true to your heart

Few are real, I know who they are

But time doesn't fail and always proves right

Like me, who hasn't failed a song

They hit the jackpot, I was the best investment

Better than you and him, because I do it with passion

Because I dreamed it a thousand times inside my room

Grandma, blessings, today I achieved another goal

It was great, I don't know if you saw me at the Super Bowl

I don't play basketball, but I'm a star

That's why they invite me to play with them

Chorus 1

My flow is NBA

I don't want to be a God, I don't want to be a king

If everyone wants to be me, everyone wants my DNA

They write me a paragraph and I reply 'Okay'

Verse 2

What's up with you, man? Nah, don't mess around

If LeBron is LeBron with 23 or with 6

By the way, I saw him yesterday, he was with me on stage

Give me a break, I'm talking to Triple H

Paul Michael Levesque, better known by the ring name Triple H, is an American business executive, actor, and retired professional wrestler

Because I don't break records, I tear them apart

This album is great, I made it for you

And in nine months I'll come back and release another

To retire calmly like Miguel Cotto

Although later I'm at home alone and bored

And although my best songs have not yet come out

But speaking clearly, people, I don't even sleep anymore

And this fame makes me even sick

Thanks to Dad and Mum for all the scoldings

Thanks to you, I'm the same every year

I remember, punished I used to go to bed

That's why now, as an adult

I do whatever I want

Did you like this lyrics translation?

regaños — scoldings / tellings-off

Regaños is the plural of "regaño," coming from the verb regañar (to scold).

In the line "Gracias a pai y a mami por to' los regaños," Bad Bunny thanks his parents for every telling-off that molded his character. It’s a colorful, less-common noun that learners rarely see in songs, making it both useful and memorable.

In "<3", Bad Bunny is taking a victory lap, but he's also looking back at where he came from. He starts by giving a huge shout-out to everyone who supported him from the very beginning, even before he was famous: "Gracias a to' el que creyó en mí, desde el primer día" (Thanks to everyone who believed in me, from the first day). He dedicates all his success to his fans, especially those in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. He's not shy about his achievements, either. He calls himself "el mejor en esto" (the best at this) and compares his consistent success to LeBron James's talent. He even casually mentions seeing LeBron and talking to wrestler Triple H, showing just how big his world has become.

But it's not all celebration. Bad Bunny also gets real about the downside of being a superstar. He admits that even with all the success, he can end up "en mi casa solo y aburrido" (at home alone and bored). He even says the fame has made him sick: "esto de la fama me tiene hasta enfermo" (this fame thing even has me sick). The song ends with him thanking his parents for keeping him grounded and remembering how their discipline made him the person he is today. It's a powerful mix of gratitude, massive confidence, and a surprisingly honest look at the loneliness that can come with being at the top.
